Precisely what Debts are wiped out if I go
Bankrupt?
The quick answer is that when it comes to Bankruptcy
most debts are wiped, and I have provided a compendium below for you to look
at.
But, put simply some of the exceptions are
Centrelink Debts, Child Support, Court fines (like speeding fines) along with
any debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational debts
like HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not erased when you file for bankruptcy.
What about Secured Debts?
A secured debt is a vehicle loan or a home
loan; it is a debt that has some actual security connected to it. So for
instance if you buy a new car for $40,000 dollars the security for that car is
the actual car itself.
So, can my secured debts be removed if I
file for bankruptcy?
Yes. If you have a car loan for $40,000 you
can have that debt eliminated if you simply hand back the car. So the lesson is
that you cannot have your cake and eat it too (so to speak), so yes all of your
secured debts could be wiped but the asset needs to be sold or returned. This
is just one part that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is necessary to get
professional assistance - like that provided at Bankruptcy Experts Townsville.
What about my Tax Debts with the ATO can
they be erased If I go bankrupt?
Yes they can, both business and personal
debts owing to the ATO can be erased with bankruptcy. If you have a business
with any type of debts find some advice because it is not always so self-explanatory.
